You and your family deserve the best. Our family will do our part to provide you with the best beef you have ever tasted.

The Varner family has been in the cattle business for 15 years. The last 10 have been on our 80 acre place 1 1/2 miles south of Leeton, MO. In 2006, we decided to go into grass finished beef. We use no antibiotics, growth hormones, herbicides or pesticides. Our cattle are not fed grain of any kind at any time in their lives. We have a 100% closed herd and do not use any sale barn animals. If we are out of beef, we will have to wait until the next fall harvest. We will have a few 18-24 month olds to butcher this fall and spring. They are available to buy in whole, halves, or split halves.

Hetherington Meats, a USDA approved and inspected processor, does this for us. The meat is dry aged for 2 weeks. Delivery is available in a 100 mile radius of Leeton.

Our brochure can answer the following questions:  is grass-fed meat better? is grass-fed meat tender? what's in a half? what am I getting and how much is it?  

There is a lot of research that substantiates the health benefits of grass-fed meats.  You will notice that grass-fed animals have a higher level of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA).  They have TVA, and their ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is typically a healthy 1-1 to 1-4.  Grain fed (feed lot beef) can be as high as 1-16.

You will notice that tenderness is mostly genetic. 

The brochure has a panel that shows the break-out, by percentage, of the various cuts in a side of beef.

Finally, in the brochure, there is an explanation of how we price our beef.
